Awakening Vocation - Edward P. Hahnenberg

Awakening Vocation explores these questions and breathes new life into an ancient idea- rousing vocation from a centuries-long slumber. Inspired by the broad and inclusive vision of the Second Vatican Council, the book traces the history of Catholic reflection on vocation and offers a constructive proposal for the present. In plain language, Edward Hahnenberg argues that Catholic thinking on vocation has been frustrated by a deficient theology of grace and that the key to reclaiming the notion of God's call today lies in a vision of God's selfgift reaching across all of human history and into every human heart. Rethinking vocation in light of a revitalized theology of grace helps move beyond earlier dead ends, opening up new ways of imagining discipleship and discernment within our wonderfully diverse and yet deeply divided world.
